Re: 68 S/C update.....
Circle D is great from everything I've heard and I also like Phoenix Transmission converters for a milder build. Both companies have great products and customer service

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Thanks for all the info... I had been looking into buy a 2800 stall... the only recommendation I have received up to now is Yank converters..

Re: 68 S/C update.....
I swapped out my 4" ECE dropped springs for some 5" ECE dropped springs. Now, it finally sits about where I had it prior to doing the LS swap and changing out the trailing arm cross member. It looks level but it still has a small rake. Word to the wise, when you change out your springs, stick to the same brand...

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Question (probably easy answer): I have never had a lowered truck before, how do the tires not rub when turning??

Re: 68 S/C update.....
It's really about the give and take between tire size, wheel offset, and the amount of drop you desire. The great thing about this site is there are numerous examples of drop and wheel options to help you make a decision that will work well for you.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Thanks! I really like the pro-street look.

True dat! I really appreciate that! I haven't checked yet. My gauge is messed up and I'm still messing with the tune. I'm installing a new fuel tank setup soon, and then I will try to get a guesstimate.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Saturday was a beautiful day so, we took the truck on trip over to Florabama for the Annual strawberry festival (150 mile round trip). We were cruising 75-80 on the interstate taching around 2200,

Re: 68 S/C update.....
I am using the auxiliary cooler from a 3/4 ton truck that will hopefully sit right in front of the ac condenser and get fresh air through the grill in combination with the trans cooler that is built into the radiator. Speedway also has a few nice coolers that can be mounted in the fuel rail. I think I have a nib extra 18" aluminum if you are interested.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Rob, what trans cooler are you using now? I don't think a fan would be absolutely necessary unless you mount the aux cooler in a location where there isn't much airflow
The new stance looks great

I'm currently running the cooler in the radiator and then I have a dual pass auxillary cooler located under the core support. My temps are good unless I get into stop and go traffic and then they start to creep up. Maybe I'm just being paranoid. PM me your address and I'll send you the pedal bracket.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
I would think the aux cooler wouldn't get much air flow since it's sitting pretty much right behind the bumper. I was thinking about this same issue the other day and haven't made any decisions yet. I may do like Boynton suggested and put it in front of the ac condenser and as low as possible
